Cargill Cattle Feed Recalled: Deficient in Vitamins A, D & E!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 5, 2013 - Cargill’s animal nutrition business today announced a voluntary recall of certain brands of its ruminant mineral products because they were deficient in vitamins A, D and E. The affected products were manufactured at Cargill’s facilities in McPherson, Kansas, and Montgomery City, Missouri, between Dec. 7, 2012, and Feb. 27, 2013. The absence of added vitamins in these products was due to an oversight in Cargill’s manufacturing process that has been remedied.

No adverse health effects related to these products have been reported to date.

This recall is limited to only those products and lot code ranges listed below. The affected product was sold in 50 pounds bags and the lot code can be found printed on the product tag that is attached to the bag. No other Cargill Animal Nutrition products are affected by this recall. Affected products are:

Some people might call me a health nut, and probably I am--but not in the typical sense.
I am concerned with good food, quality nutrition and a healthy environment just like everyone else.
But I am just as concerned about the things that everyone takes for granted: Things like our medicines being safe to consume. Things like the instuments used by my surgeon being safe and reliable. And things like the toys my children and grandchildren play with not being toxic or outright deadly.
It takes time and research to discover how to best protect yourself as a consumer. And because of this, I write Totally Recalled so that people everywhere will have a one-stop place to find all of the newest recall and safety information on all products--ranging from everyday lettuce to medical blood plasma.
